Picture Request - Audi Fat Fives on A3 8P 3dr Plz!

I've been looking for the same pic, I think they would look awesome as they suit the similarly slab sided mk4 and Bora very well indeed
If you are looking at the ones on E38, I think they are well overpriced!

Stolen from a for sale thread, but these are Fat Fives:
Would look pretty sweet on an A3 I think but could only find a pic of them on a 5dr:

Engage the beige!
Yes thats what makes them cool, they look similar but different! Compared to the OEM S line wheels they are half inch wider, 9mm lower offset so stick out further. This coupled together means they sit around 23mm closer to the arch which is just about perfect. Because of the extra width the standard 225's sit nicer but look even better with 215's on.
seems i have started something here, haha, im wanting to get my hand on a set of these or some rs6 wheels like the ones on dec's black a3 which looks similar to mine, i have the 05 plate 2.0 FSI 3dr and want to keep my mods subtle.
also i do agree with lee_r yes i have been looking on edition too and they are very pricey but what you would expect as them seem to be very rare :S

weren't fat fives optionat extras on the 8P1s? i remember them being in the brouchure when the 1.6 was ordered
Theres an 8P1 the same as mine (but standard) at work with TT comps on, doesnt look like they have been changed but could be wrong, maybe thats what your thinking of rather than the Fat Fives?
Thanks dude, mine are 8.5" wide, offset et38 all round, so the Fat Fives with et45 would probably be a safer bet to go with unless you get tyres with stretch!
Think TT Comps went up to 17" max, not 18"
Fat Fives have more of a flat face with straight spokes, whereas the TT Comp ones are bent like this:

I used to like my wheels but these fat fives make my s-lines look like a pile of anorexic poo.
Thanks guys.
Thanks guys.
I've just bought a set for my new winters. Wearing 215/40/18s. Not 3 door, but oh well
AAArrrgggghhhhh! I need these wheels in my life, they are amazin, i have started a fat fives appreciation thread, lol, i am still yet to see a 3dr a3 with fat fives on and need that to be me, or failing that i also fancy the rs6 wheels which look equally effective!

When i bought an A3 3.2 sport it has fat 5s on but not the best pic
they arent fat 5's they are the 17" optional sport wheels. Fat 5's were 18" and only come on the A6
